“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting. Therefore He shall give them up, Until the time that she who is in labor has given birth.”
(Micah 5:2-3)

Learn about the past to enrich your future.

Bethlehem Village is an authentic outdoor recreation of the very real Biblical town of Bethlehem. Enter for free, and explore the village with friends and family for an immersive experience in the life of Israelites over 2,000 years ago.

You will begin with an introductory movie, and then you will be moved through the census-taker's and given "shekles" (the currency of the day) to spend on handmade items at any of the shops, including the Apothecary, Potter, Bread, Tea & Spice shop, and many others. Follow the path through, and stay on the lookout for roaming Centurions!
